Hey Guys....

Not a kill story here, but I figured that since this might help perpetuate the KILLING INSTINCT of owners with the D/A package in their trucks. What is the quickest route to sooting up jackasses at stoplights short of injectors,tranny mods, lift pumps, etc. Will any of the plug in boxes foot the bill? EDGE.... V/A.... Predator.... TTS. Without frying up the clutches? :help:
Or is the only path to sooty happiness to be found at the bottom of our wallets?

I use my truck both to tow and as a driver and for some fun. I've been thinking about the edge attitude... maybe the predator as well as they offer different forms of adjustability. Could do a light stack? just looking for some advice...

Thanks in advance!

I think someone should make a soot vs. tranny life equation ;)

Seriously though it seems to be the trucks that blow the most smoke are also the ones with the most power adders, downloaders, juice, downloaders and juice stacked and other crazy things. Along with that you get more power and are that much more likely to fry a stock allison. So long answer short, yeah bottom of the wallet is where you'll find the most black smoke.

MY Predator alone throws thick, murky, menacing, billowing black smoke and soot. :devilfing But be warned. "With great power, comes great responsibility." OK enough quotes from Spiderman. You can avoid great amounts of cash and still be able to play but you are at risk for big-time investments of the transmision kind. :eek: Good luck and heed the good word these truck nuts 'round here. They know how to turn these trucks into a real addiction.:devilfing And money pit.:idea:

When I run the pred on 40hp tune and the E/J on 5/5 I can cover a car in soot. The other day while talking on the phone I hit the throttle to grab an opening in the next lane and I saw a car disappear in my cloud. I didn't even hit it that hard. OOPS! I can definately get more smoke with the low pred. tune and the E/J tune set to kill vs just the E/J or pred alone set to kill. Definately want to think about a tranny upgrade when you want to soot people out all the time.
